Despite the freezing cold, we enjoyed our excursion, the driver arrived to pick us up a few minutes early, everything went to plan and we learnt a lot from our very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The places themselves were less established than perhaps we expected - as we went in December we were the only groups visiting each site and no doubt we'd have spent more time enjoying the views during our visit if we'd visited in summer rather than during -7 temperatures!

First we saw a beautiful palace in a peaceful country setting away from the Bucharest chaos. It was built by a remarkable man and is filled with furniture, paintings and things from that era, but has a very sad history. Then two very old monasteries at lakes further out in the countryside - amazing places with incredible iconography and carved woodwork. It was a great half-day trip.

This tour is a good way to spend half a day on. Snagov Church and the Palace are really beautiful. The monastery is fairly interesting. The church is also very nice. Boogie was our tour guide and he was fun and lively and tried very hard to make us feel comfortable

Interesting excursion into countryside outside Bucharest. Beautiful monastery on island in lake. Terrific palace visit in unique architectural style. Both guide, Roxana and driver ALEX were excellent with very good English

This tour has been amazing! Our guide Rodica was super prepared and give us so many extra information. Definitely will have more tours with them if we come over again. Very very pleased.
